5 GETTING STARTED

Start by personalizing Suunto M4 to get accurate guidance in reaching your goals. Through the personal settings, you tune your Suunto M4 according to your physical traits and activity. Many of the calculations use these settings, so it is important that you are as accurate as possible when defining the values.
Press any button to activate your Suunto M4. To set the initial settings:
1. Press any button to activate the device. Wait until the unit wakes up and
says hold 2 sec. Keep pressed to enter the first setting.
2. Press or to change values.
3. Press to accept a value and to move to the next setting. Press to
return to the previous setting.
4. When you are ready, select yes ( ) to confirm all settings. If you want to
modify the settings, select no ( ).
You can set the following initial settings:
language: English, Deutsch, français, español, portuguese, italiano,
●
Nederlands, svenska, suomi
units: metric / imperial
●
time: 12 / 24 h, hours and minutes

date
●
personal settings: year of birth, sex, weight, height, (calculated BMI), fitness
●
level
NOTE: BMI (Body Mass Index) is a number calculated from your weight and height. It indicates whether your weight is within healthy limits. However, if you are very muscular, your calculated BMI may be higher than expected, because the BMI ranges are based on average body types.
NOTE: Once you have entered your year of birth, your device automatically sets the maximum heart rate (max. HR) using the formula 207 – (0.7 x AGE) published by the American College of Sports Medicine. If you know your real max. HR, you should adjust the automatically given value to the known value.
For information about adjusting the settings at a later time, see Chapter 14 Adjusting settings on page 30.
TIP: Press in the time view to view the status of your current day exercise target, date and seconds with the time. The display returns to show only the time to save battery life, if you do not press again after 2 minutes.

recreation or work requiring modest physical activity, such as golf, horseback riding, calisthenics, gymnastics, table tennis, bowling, weight lifting, or yard work. fair: you run less than one mile (1.6 km) per week or spend less than 30 min
